Pipe’s Laid At Goldridge Estate: Work is well underway on the installation of Goldridge Estate’s sewer infrastructure. “Forbes Shire Council is committed to delivering for the community and this project will deliver much needed residential land with all the associated services to ensure Forbes can continue to grow and thrive,” said Mayor Phyllis Miller OAM. The Strategic Planning Statement 2040 released earlier this year identified extensive future growth within Forbes, specifically in the northwest area (where the new estate is located) which is attractive to buyers due to being well out of the flood zone.
